Japan's stance on Putin's Kuril visit questioned
Russia condemned Japan's actions following its visit to President Vladimir Putin to the Kuril Islands, describing them as crossing the bounds of courtesy. The country also called for the Japanese ambassador to be summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for clarification. Moscow noted that Japan considered the visit unacceptable, recalling that Japan was a hostile member of the United Nations prior to its accession, and that Japan only joined after expressing regret for its wartime policies. Additionally, Russia summoned the Japanese ambassador over these events. These statements came in the wake of Putin's visit to Iturup Island, one of the disputed Kuril Islands, which was under Japanese sovereignty before being transferred to Russia after World War II.
